**Notice 10/18/22: I’ve been dealing with de quervain’s tenosynovitis in my dominant hand and have been given doctor orders to stop needle felting for 6-8 weeks. As such, there won’t be any shop updates as my hand heals. Thank you!**
Hello and welcome!
I do my best to source the wool I use from small businesses and farms who produce wool ethically and sustainably. These felted pieces are truly a labor of love and are ready to find their new homes!

Felting on a whim
Being an autistic ADHD human I am best friends with hyperfixation. I fall in and out of love with hobbies as the dopamine waxes and wanes. I got my first taste of felting through a simple needle felted project that caught my eye in a magazine. And that’s when I fell in love. My felted pieces are born out of my whims, those sparks of inspiration that take hold and send me into a state of hyperfocused needle felting. I needle felt for the dopamine.
My love for cats developed at a very young age. We always had at least one cat in our family when I was growing up. My love for cats exploded on a deeper level when my spouse, child, and I adopted Luna and Nebula in 2022. They joined our senior Charlie who, as of this writing, is 13 years old. These three cats bring us so much love and joy.
My cats help me test the cat toys I create to ensure that they are up to their standards. I pay close attention to what sort of toys they like best but also what I like most in a cat toy (for example, the kind of wand that feels good to hold in my hand when playing with them). Combining my love of felting with my love of cats makes my heart happy.
